Explanation:

1. The error is the use of "their" with the singular - sounding "team". In American English, "team" is often considered a singular collective noun, so it should be "its". The corrected sentence is "The team can't change its score after the buzzer."
2. The mis - spelled words are "eligable" (should be "eligible") and "balet" (should be "ballet").
3. a. athletic; b. athletics; c. athlete's.
4. Repetition occurs when a sound, word, phrase, or line is repeated within a piece of writing.
5. To find the change in the record from 1865 - 1923, we look at the record times on the graph. In 1865, the record time is approximately 4.35 minutes and in 1923, it is approximately 4.10 minutes. The change is 4.35 - 4.10 = 0.25 minutes.
